Epic Games Store and money 

I'm… slightly worried about the Epic Games Store.
Their current "megasale" has a special deal going, where *everyone* gets a $10 coupon just for signing in.

And if you use that coupon to get $10 off a game purchase.... you get another $10 coupon to use.

This (along with the weekly free games) doesn't seem like a financially viable idea…

It seems like they're desperately hoping for customers.

What's going to happen to all the games people bought if EGS stops working?

@lizardsquid
Maybe I'm cynical but I suspect it'd just be tough luck you can't access them anymore (but please join us on future ventures). Maybe the game also sort of work offline, but you'll have to have them downloaded in advance. ^^;

(Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure an uncomfortable amount of the gaming crowd and industry is dependent on steam never going under either.)

@BatElite on steam it's absolutely the case - their legal terms are that you don't actually own the game, you own an "indefinitely long subscription" to the game, which they can cancel at any time for any reason.
